Who wants to bet that this attack had little-to-no military objective, and is just murdering civilians because Trump thinks that will make him look 'tough'.

The plan is to get into a war so that he can be elected a third term like Roosevelt and then pave a path towards a dictatorship. War can also boost the economy, if you win. Might be the only way he knows how.
